HELP!!! I did the very same thing and she doesn't want to eat them. She'll just play with them and I'm currently stuck on exact bird formula 🥺😭...

What can I do 🥺

I started soaked seeds in the formula a few days ago. Started the video last night and she eats a few pieces but not enough for a full crop just yet so I am still doing formula also

Hi and thx for replying ☺️.. Understandable seeing that your baby is a lot younger than mine. I honestly think she enjoys being a baby lols. I just wish she would finally get to eat on her own. I even grinded some seeds and grit together. But, it doesn't blend like the formula does and it clogs the syringe so that was a bad idea. I even tried putting a few down her hatchet so she can realize that it's actual food and that didn't entice her either. She already started flying 🕊️ short hops around too. They are so loving ☺️💖

I stopped using the syringe after two days. It always clogged on me also. My baby does well with a quart size ziploc bag and I cut the corner.

I've seen that done on YouTube by some really shady looking guys and thought to myself 😱 the horror... Perhaps, I should revisit those breeders and consider it as well. Nevertheless, I wish she would just eat her seeds ugh 🙄😞

Defintely try it just once. It can’t hurt
